Hi, I'm Ania RN and IBCLC in Private Practice with over 14 years of experience supporting parents like you
I help hundreds of families every year to find joy in infant feeding during the most vulnerable time of their lives as they welcome their new babies.
The truth is most find me after their baby has been born and they are struggling with nipple pain, low milk supply, weight gain issues and latching difficulties. Supporting them is an absolute honor but I often wonder how much less stressful their immediate postpartum period was, how much pain they would avoid if we met prenatally first.
As a mother of 4 breastfeed babies, maternity nurse and a Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I know how crucial it is for parents to go into postpartum period with a good understanding of how breastfeeding/human milk feeding works, and how to understand infant’s feeding reflexes and behavior and being able to decode them correctly. Too many parents are falling through the cracks, receive unhelpful and plain incorrect advice and are left without skilled lactation support.
I know too well how important prenatal education is for parents so together with the Mohawk Valley Lactation team we made it a goal for 2025 to educate and empower as many parents prenatally as we can to help them reach their goals sooner.

What my clients say about the class
I found this class to be extremely informative. The instructors were very knowledgeable & approachable when it came to asking questions. As a new mom to breastfeeding, I feel less anxious & more empowered to give breastfeeding the best chance.
Saira Jhandier
Joined Ania and her team for their 2-hour breastfeeding course and would highly recommend! It was an open, judgement free space where they touched on all of the basics around feeding – breastfeeding dos/donts, pumps, burping, adjusting to returning to work and so much more! They were kind, professional and soooo knowledgeable!
Gianna
You guys are the best and are very knowledgable. I loved comming to this class to refresh about breastfeeding and getting up to date information. Ania helped a lot with my first baby and I can’t wait to follow up with her once this baby is born.
Jenna Harber

What our clients say about Ania
I don’t think I would have been able to breastfeed if it wasn’t for Ania. I am still going strong 8 months later. Anna was VERY helpful and knowledgeable when we were in the hospital! She encouraged me to never give up, never pushed me and always offered to come back and give me time if needed. I was in the hospital for 10 days… longer than most new moms and she was there everyday she worked and helped me. She could have stopped after a few days since normal people are discharged home but she spent endless hours with me!
Ania is the most supportive, caring and genuine lady out there. I truly believe without her my breastfeeding journey wouldnt have happened. Through every struggle (tounge and lip tie, NICU, jaundice, low blood sugars, nipple pain) my son and I had Ania was there for us to answer questions, provide support. Anytime I needed help she was there for us even after leaving the hospital. We have been breastfeeding almost 6 months now and I love every minute of it. I am so glad I had the honor of working with such an amazing lactation consultant.
I had so many issues when it came to breastfeeding! My son had a bad latch to start with and I wasn’t able to get a lot of time with the lactation consultant in the hospital. He was extremely frustrated and refusing the breast. So he became jaundice. Then he got thrush. I met with Anna and she helped me so much! She listened to our concerns and gave us ideas and suggestions to try. She thought my son was tongue tied and after seeing a doctor she recommended, he had revisions done to the upper lip and tongue. All of which the pediatricians missed. Now he’s getting better at nursing and we are on way to exclusively breastfeeding. Anna has been so helpful and quick to respond to any questions. I wouldn’t be breastfeeding today without the support of Anna!
She helped keep me calm and focused throughout the entire process, always knowing exactly what I needed in the moment. Her presence brought so much comfort and reassurance to both me and my family.
Even after the birth, she continued to check in on me and offered guidance with breastfeeding, which meant so much during those first overwhelming days. Her care didn’t stop once the baby arrived, and that really shows how dedicated she is to the families she supports.
I am so grateful to have had her by my side. She is truly amazing at what she does, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive doula

Don't feel awkard and or freaked out by the discussion its so real, and these topics are normal, we are woman who deal with it all....
From finding the right doctor, to making sure you are prepared to being ready and feeling ready to having all the divided support and advocating for what you want, it all matters and its worth it for your little one
She was in the failure to thrive zone for weight when I first came in at 4 1/2 weeks. We bought formula to have on hand because her inability to transfer milk had tanked my supply. I wa so scared and sad for her. She was sooooo scrawny. (But still bright eyed and hopeful) Some nights we were down to the last bag of pumped milk in the freezer and it felt like my breasts were soft and empty… but the plan Ania suggested for me worked and I started to wake up mornings with breasts full of milk for my little one. We never did open the formula. Then we addressed the continued issues with her breast feeding until she was nursing normally finally at 10 1/2 weeks. Now she is 15th percentile and nursing is a joy for us both.
She is my third, and I never had issues with my first two so I was not expecting to struggle. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t found Ania.
P.s even if you’ve had children before (breastfeeding experience), never be afraid to reach out for support/advice/help from a lactation consultant.
